Description
On Memorial Day, the annual Oxford ceremony starts at 10 a.m. (sharp) in Centennial Park, downtown. The ceremony includes placing dog tags on the crosses of those who died in service. Guest speaker will be Sergeant Ric Meza of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.
“I am truly humbled and honored to be able to speak due to this being very close to my heart,” Meza said. “Memorial Day is a very meaningful and heartfelt day to a lot of people. I was a sergeant in the army.”
After the park service, there will be a parade from Centennial, north on Washington St., and west on Burdick to Ridgelawn Cemetery for wreath-placing ceremony and a 21-gun salute. The National Anthem will be sung and Taps performed.
